communist regime opened the border the announcement allowed its citizens to safely cross to the west for the 1st time in 3 decades in all those years crossing them without permission was often fatal hundreds of people were killed trying to escape the country but with the berlin wall dale friends and family could finally reunite without fear paving the way for the to germany's to do the same not long thereafter . for more on the celebrations this week let's go now to my colleague david leavitt's he is out in a balance in berlin this evening in front of a very well known church here in berlin david what's going on. hey brant yeah i'm in front of the good salmon in a church in what was 30 years ago communist east berlin and as you can see behind me there's some quite impressive projections of that time of these days leading up

to the fall of the berlin wall which at that time no one was actually expecting that's what this whole week is about it's about commemorating the peaceful route to revolution now 30 years ago today there was a concert in this church they did so many church of beethoven's 3rd symphony and at the end of that the conductor stood up and he said the wall has got to go there was huge applause and people took to the streets in an impromptu march which not that long ago would have been very very dangerous that was 4 days before the berlin wall fell of course they didn't know that it was going to fall but already there was this momentum this impetus and that concert 30 years ago wasn't the 1st event at this church in terms of opposition to the church was a place for people to meet from the opposition it was one of the few safe places where people could talk politics. and really speak their mind now in the

weeks and months leading up to the fall of the berlin wall this whole plaza behind me was filled with candles people came together here for candlelight vigils for pro-democracy demonstrators who were being imprisoned and that started off pretty small at 1st there were only about 50 people but after a few days there were thousands of people people who weren't necessarily even christians weren't church members weren't even people who consider themselves political so this church is where a major groundswell of support for this peaceful protest movement took place and let's take a look back at those events from 30 years ago. in october 989 think if sad. many church in what was then east berlin became the center of the revolution communist east germany was celebrating its 40th anniversary and there was still rousing applause for the country's leaders but at the same time the streets were slowly filling up with protesters. on.

east german police and members of the country's notorious intelligence service brutally beat the demonstrators. on this night thousands some of them wounded fled into the safety of the church there were fears that the church would be storm. but the police didn't intervene a new wind was blowing from the east under mikhail gorbachev moscow was no longer willing to back the use of force against demonstrators the protest movement based in the guest them in the church was allowed to continue with candles courage and nonviolent protests these demonstrators paved the way for the peaceful revolution and the fall of the wall. and you know they've had a lot of people may be surprised to know that it was a church churches in communist east germany where people actually found safe zones

if you will where they could actually talk about changing the system a peaceful revolution to not have to be worried about the secret police for example arresting them a truly historic place what went on there today to mark 30 years of the berlin wall fall. well brant what went on and what is going to continue to go on through the night hours are these fantastic projections that really bring in images and also sound bites of people who were there who helped make this happen who helped pave the way for the wall to fall and also. a very certain someone by the name of patti smith is giving a concert inside the church she's here from the united states her whole career career has been built on the notion of freedom and people are here trying to get tickets a lot of them i saw

a sign earlier saying if it was possible for the berlin wall to fall it must be possible to get tickets patti smith concert david thank you very much. well east germany was home to tens of thousands of skilled workers from other communist countries including cuba mozambique and vietnam when the 2 germany's unified some of these people were deported but others many who had married in germans were allowed to stay and they discovered that a reunify germany did not make acceptance of foreigners any easier. quanto always dreamed of owning her own restaurant in 1976 the then 19 year old came to former east germany for vietnam. nor for me my white flower dress represented germany because it was given to me by german aid workers. so when i got the job training offer i immediately said yes i

had no idea what i was getting myself into. it was the. release. she liked life in east germany vietnamese people were considered to be very industrious but after her job training hard and true to had to return to a vietnam that had been destroyed by war then in 1987 she was offered the opportunity to return to east germany in a small town as a contract worker but the attitude towards foreigners had changed in love and war become an. eyesore. whenever we went shopping the cashiers look down at us as though we had just walked out of the jungle or the. this is the building that one true used to work in

a former clothes factory she quickly realized that people like her were only there to make up for the lack of skilled workers in east germany they were encouraged to not have contact with east germans in 1909 the wall fell germans were overjoyed but it was a precarious time for contract workers. when the 1st wife and i was so worried i didn't know what was going to happen i thought it was all over. and. over the following years the government tried to deport the former contract workers . was allowed to stay because she was married to a german but she ran into opposition including her doctor he had been in charge of the contract workers in her small town. he asked me what are you still doing here i answered i live here he replied but we don't mind you anymore there is no east germany anymore and. hatred of foreigners

peaked in 1902 with aggressive gang violence right wing radicals such apartment buildings on fire and burned cars that belongs to vietnamese work because we haven't just been miles among one we saw the attacks on t.v. my husband cried. and i told him these are hard times for us i might have to leave the country. still one true to state today she feels more at home here but racism has again been on the rise in germany . of course i hope that the people i like will remain in the majority so that we won't be in danger. i truly hope that will be the case it is

up to all of us to open ourselves up to foreigners and not be scared of them because people from other countries are the salt in the soup of society. germany has become her home country still has her vietnamese passport just in case . and all this week you will bring you special coverage and reports on the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago the biggest party is taking place on saturday and the landmark brandenburg gate in the center of the german capital will be joining the celebrations in broadcasting live throughout the day i hope you join us. are now to the united states a republican strategist and former advisor to u.s. president donald trump has gone on trial in washington accused of obstructing justice water still was investigated as part of the special counsel probe into

russian meddling in the 2016 american election the case coincides with the impeachment inquiry against president truong in the u.s. house of representatives. like few other political operatives in u.s. history roger stone revels in attention whether it's good or bad. guy out. first. is not. a veteran republican strategist whose career goes back more than 40 years roger stone counts former u.s. presidents ronald reagan and richard nixon among his clients his affinity for nixon apparently strong enough to him to get this permanent reminder his ties with donald trump also go back decades in the eighty's stone turned trump the entrepreneur into a major donor for reagan's campaign and saw in him a potential contender for the white house. i have great affection for trump and the

trump family i have wanted him to run for president since 1980 but while dirty tricks and prince of darkness are among the kind of names his critics used to describe him stone now faces a new one convicted felon. indicted by special counsel robert muller who was investigating russian interference in the 2016 campaign stone was charged on several counts. oh the central question. to the trump campaign that the wiki leaks website was about to publish hacked e-mails supplied by russian spies as possible coordinated campaign to sink trumps democratic rival hillary clinton i will not give to these charges and i will defeat them. i believe this is a politically motivated investigation of the ruling class is found guilty of

political provocateurs could now face jail and this is high profile trial is set to test roger stone's long held theory that any publicity is good publicity. and he certainly getting publicity now all the talk about venom so i'm joined by our correspondent in washington oliver sally good evening to you so what happened on this 1st day of the draw well the trial brant got off to a surprising start broader stone left the courtroom he mentioned yet some kind of food poisoning and so the trial in the end had to go on without him and just then started one by one questioning off potential jurors and that got off to a contentious start as well with the judge denying most of the requests made by defense lawyers because they wanted to exclude potential jurors because they feel that they could be biased now the central question this trial is of roger stone exploited these now in famous e-mails of hillary clinton that were hacked for

potentially political gain of the trunk campaign in 2016 in the election of course that made him president of the united states roger stone testified of all that before congress and one of the most important allegations no made against him is that he lied to congress of all the trump campaigns efforts to obtain these e-mails and roger stone he has pleaded not guilty but if he is found guilty and convicted of what kind of sentence going to be facing. writes as so roger stone is just the 2nd one to plead not guilty of all of those indicted by mahler he calls the trial a politically motivated investigation that is just the typical trump rhetoric here and if found guilty in all charges he could face up to 50 years in prison earlier this year if you remember the former campaign manager of president trump paul nano ford faced a similar charge but he pleaded guilty in contrast and was convicted only to 7 and

a half years in jail so it'll be interesting to follow this case and to see how it turns out for roger stone stone and he has a flair for public drama that we know he has described himself as a dirty trick in the past and he signs of that flamboyance today i mean i guess the food poisoning was part of it well that was the 1st little detail brand of course but then in the run up to this trial there is one story roger stone's defense team wanted to play a clip of the movie the godfather part 2 and that led to a back and forth tussling with the prosecutors don't want to make the case that in a text message she sent to a witness and he made reference to a character from that film essentially trying to defend himself by showing film clips of cord which of course is quite unusual in the end she was not allowed to show that film clip only to hand out the transcripts to the jurors and then also

roger still was banned from using social media from posting anything in fact on social media while this case is still pending before that he didn't comply with a court order to not post anything about the russian missed again on trial as you can see as a very colorful contested figure he discredited the authority of that court very close friend of president trump and that certainly sheds a light on the president as well you know twitter roger stone imagine that it's all over salad in washington over thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world yemen's internationally recognized government has signed a power sharing deal with a southern separatist group the southern transitional council have been battling for control of the city of aden despite fighting with the government against the country's who the rebels to steal aims to end months of infighting in the south of the country at least 4 people were killed when security forces opened fire on

anti-government protesters in iraq's southern province of basra this comes a day after 5 people were reportedly killed in protests in the country's capital baghdad as they called for sweeping political reforms firefighters in august nigeria are battling a fire at a huge market shopkeepers have been throwing goods from upper floors and trying to battle the flames while fire engine struggle to reach the sea. israel's supreme court has upheld a government order expelling a rights activist from the country now the activists is accused of supporting a boycott of the country over its treatment of the palestinians the court ratified the government's refusal to renu omar shark years of work visa and gave him 20 days to leave the country sheikh here is the is real director of human rights watch the ngos says the deportation order is an attempt to silence criticism of the

occupation of palestinian territory. i was speaking to g.w. news a marshal here said that the court's ruling is part of a disturbing trend of crackdowns on human rights advocacy in israel. it is undeniably changed and i would say the last 5 to 10 years i mean a decision like this would not have been conceivable i think 1520 years ago while the supreme court has often rubber stamped government policies when it comes to settlements and human rights abuses in the west bank for it to sign off on this government's crackdown on human rights advocacy really is a dangerous sort of escalation what we've seen in recent years is denial of entry to prominent international rights advocates un representatives amnesty. groups that have been tarnished just last week a palestinian staff member and the city international was issued a travel ban as a punitive measure given their work it's quite clear that the israeli government is

hell bent on shutting down independent human rights reporting but it ultimately is going to fail we're going to continue to do the same work covering the same issues and the exact same way whether i'm here or not and we're going to fight to the very last minute not only for me to stay in these next 20 days but to safeguard what remains of the limited space for human rights advocacy and basic criticism and there was a marshal here speaking with us earlier from israel when out to one of the most difficult challenges facing europe the large number of refugees arriving on europe's shores in search of a better life many migrants are finding conditions no easier than those that they left behind refugee camps on the greek islands near the turkish coast are dangerously overcrowded this report comes from the island of coke's. they had to improvise or face a night sleeping out in the open there. is

a whole. refugee arrivals and coast in recent weeks have overwhelm the system now as many as 6000 asylum seekers are on the island most living in inhumane conditions . they had a problem for them to eat seek. problem that a problem had life very difficult. the new camp is steadily growing outside the official reception facilities the island community has asked athens and the european union for help. the situation is dire on islands across the aegean sea and is likely to worsen. volunteer aid workers fear that some migrants won't survive the winter unless things change. up initial let up of what they many of them have serious health problems that we can't deal with here but this is just one doctor for everybody but it's 3 years now no volunteer organization has been able to afford to offer medical help. because.

the official reception area must provide for nearly 4 times as many people as it was designed for everyone here hopes the asylum seekers will quickly be resettled in better conditions on the greek main. when l. into turkey and the highly controversial dam project that is almost finished the elusive dam was constructed on the tigris river and it is resulting in the flooding of the ship area thousands of people have been forced to resettle dozens of talons in villages are disappearing among them the town of a song one of the world's oldest human settlements. people have lived in haasan cave for thousands of years now the ancient town is being demolished building by building. concrete platforms have been set under the centuries old mosque soon the

haasan caves when it stands on the edge of the new lake but the residents of haasan caves are skeptical that anyone will come to their town when its ancient attractions like deep below water. where is few when say that is a question that his wife is desperately trying to answer the human rights lawyer was detained almost 2 years ago by chinese authorities and since then they've said very little about him or now his wife is on a quest to locate her husband and challenge his detention despite the hurdles she's face. sure jaan is on a mission crisscrossing china on trains. as will be confronting a system shrouded in secrecy i think i still don't know where my husband is or his situation. in pursuit of justice and for 680 days her husband you
